Vintage Bond Props (Page 4 of 4)

Thanks, so inbetween Dr No and Goldfinger basically (FRWL also), hmmm.

I actually took that to be Red Grant's watch but who knows.

That is a wonderfully strange photo, agreed. As others have said, I would guess it's from some magazine editorial or something like that- maybe a Playboy or the like.
I feel like Sean might be looking slightly more FRWL-ish...? Very hard to tell though, although I guess the rug would have been different between the two movies.

Brilliant, well done and thanks.
That's exactly what I thought when I first saw the photo, Crockfords £5000 first set but was told that none were made so I digressed to the Thatched Barn as the logo is similar and it made more "sense".
Funnily enough I worked there (not at that time obviously) and trust me, the word Gentlemen didn't apply at the time I was there.
Thanks again, you're the man!!

Very nice work! Did Sean wig up for many other promotional appearances?

What year is that from? I'd be surprised if they did but it's possible although the white edges look too "thick"

Thanks to all that bought some of the plaques and whilst I'd like to keep offering them I think it is time to stop now.
I have only ever wanted the buyers to be happy but have found somebody who isn't and that's a shame and so, that's it.
Some of the top grade ones are still on ebay but the lower grade ones are being taken off.
Hope you all have a great year and let's hope 2021 is a heck of a lot better.

Thanks, for the info and the happy customer part.
I can't imagine the casino would have let them have them for so long and the chips don't look the same either but still, possible I suppose.
It looks like he's trying to turn me over by using the system as he's making it hard to deal with him.
Not as described for 4 different lots!? Photos show the warp and the smell is also mentioned so there must be another reason to do what he's doing. Now he's giving me flannel about returning them quoting a ridiculous amount hoping I'll just give up and let him have them with refund from that popular auction site I use (I believe anyway).
There's always one  I know but..................

Thanks, I have spoken to them a few times already as the person is trying to get me to pay almost $400 for return postage by insisting ebay say they have to be sent back in 4 packages as opposed to just the 1 they were sent in and that only FedEx do end to end tracking from the US. Ebay tell me that that is untrue but they are insisting and I think USPS do E2E Tracking (but could be wrong). I disagreed with their "not described" claims but don't want anybody to be unhappy (or have to get into an argument about it either) so agreed to refund when received back, plus there wasn't an option to dispute their claim anyway. I also expect they'd damage them to show not as described so it's not looking good I'm sorry to say. I just think they are "trying their luck" to be honest and it was planned at the start. There's always 1 I know but still...............Hope all is good with you. Take care.

Thanks, I hope so.
As you may remember I'm a bit of a stickler when it comes to making sure the prospective buyer is as happy as can be with copious amounts of photos and way too much information so I have the photos and descriptions to verify the condition they were in when sent so I can only hope that ebay will be helpful although I think the best I can hope for is that they see I'm genuine (as are my listings) and not refund them the money they paid but they'll probably get to keep the items and ebay refund them. I've only had 1 other return opened if I remember rightly (out of over 2000 overall sales) so I'd like to think that will hold me in good stead. The 4 negative feedbacks I'll just have to live with. Thanks again for the comments, look after yourself.

Same here Garin, I’m getting the plaques framed as soon as I have the courage to leave the house and will post pics.

All the best with the eBay con artist by the way, sounds like a complete [foghorn] to me...

So sorry to hear of the problem you're having. Certainly NOT deserved. You've helped a lot of us add quite a unique piece of Bond history to our collections. Hope all turns out well.

Can't seem to delete so................
